Argent Crusade Reputation Guide

The
Argent Crusade was formed from the union of the Argent Dawn and the
Order of the Silver Hand. Formed shortly after the battle for
Light’s Hope Chapel, which is experienced by Death
Knight’s doing the quest The Light Of Dawn, in which
Ashbringer is reclaimed by Tirion Fordring during a battle with the
Lich King. Assuming leadership over the Argent Dawn Tirion united the
two factions in order to bring the fight to the Lich King in Northrend.
Every member of the Argent Crusade is handpicked by Tirion himself to
avoid infiltration by the Cult of the Damned.

Argent
Crusade Bases

The
main Argent Crusade base currently appears to be at the Argent
Vanguard located on the border between the Storm Peaks and Icecrown.
Other bases throughout Northrend include:

Light’s Trust in
Dragonblight

Dawn’s Reach in
Dragonblight

Light’s Breach in
Zul’Drak

The Argent Strand in
Zul’Drak

Argent Tournament in Icecrown

Argent
Crusade Quests

There
are more quests than you think available to help you improve your
standing with the Argent Crusade. Even better most of these quests can
and will be completed while you are leveling! Below is a list of all
the normal quests available to you to earn reputation. Included will be
how much reputation will be gained from each quest, quest level, and if
the quest is faction specific only. Chain quests will be grouped
together as best as possible.

Argent
Crusade Daily Quests

While
you can obviously gain a ton of reputation just from
the normal quests you will complete while leveling up there are also
two daily quests offered outside of the Argent Tournament to help build
your Argent Crusade Reputation. The two daily quests are:

[80] Slaves
to Saronite

The
Slaves to Saronite quest can either
be picked up on the Skybreaker
from Absalan the Pious, or on Orgrim’s Hammer from Brother
Keltan. To complete the quest you are required to rescue 10 Saronite
Mine Slaves from inside a cave. The cave in question is located in
Ymirheim, a vrykul stronghold located
almost directly in the middle of
Icecrown. Once inside the mine quickly take
out the guards and proceed
to talk to the slaves using the “You’re
Free” chat option. The slaves will then do one of three
things; run out of the mine free, attack you, or go crazy and throw
themselves off the ledges at the back of the cave. Only the slaves that
run out of the mine free count towards the quest total. Keep talking to
slaves until 10 of them run out of the mine. Upon completion of the
quest you will gain 250 reputation with the Argent Crusade. (On Patrol)

[76]Pa’Troll

The
Pa’Troll quest is a little more involved and difficult to
complete. To begin you will need to make a visit to Commander Kunz at
the Argent Strand. Once you have spoken with Commander Kunz he will ask
you to visit the four Argent Crusade posts starting with Captain
Brandon . You will then need to follow their orders, in a form of 4
daily quests (1 for each Captain and the Alchemist). While Alchemist
Finklestein’s task will remain the same from day to day the
other Captain’s quests will change daily. The various NPCs
and the quests they give are as
follows:

Captain
BrandonLocated
SW of the Argent
Stand, between the water fields and Kolramas,
Captain Brandon will offer you one of three possible Troll Patrol
quests.

[76]
Troll Patrol: Can You Dig It?

Captain
Brandon asks you to use the Steel Spade on Ancient Dirt Mounds
to find the Ancient Drakkari Relic. The Ancient Dirt Mounds can be
found almost directly SW from Captain Brandon and are very easy to see.
Use your Steel Spade next to the mounds and a random event will happen.
Either you will find an Ancient
Drakkari Relic and complete the quest,
an easy to kill mob will spawn, or you may also get a chest that will
be filled with random goodies. Keep going mound to mound until the
quest is completed, then turn it in to Captain Brandon.

[76]
Troll Patrol: High Standards

In
this quest Captain Brandon will ask you to place the Argent Crusade
Banner in the Drakkari Pedestals at
Drak’Sotra. The pedestals
to plant these three impressive banners are located in the courtyard
just north of Captain Brandon. They look a lot like large
crates on the ground and also sparkle like other quest objects. Simply
kill the surrounding mobs, walk up to each of the pedestals and plant
your flag. Do this 3 times and this quest will be complete. Turn in to
Captain Brandon.

[76]
Troll Patrol: Something for the Pain

Captain
Brandon asks you to collect 5 Mature Water-Poppies from
Drak’Sotra to reduce the pain of his soldiers. The
Water-Poppies can be found just west of Captain Brandon and are
surrounded by angry water elementals. The Water-Poppies themselves are
tall blue colored flowers. Pick 5 and turn in
to Captain Brandon.

Captain Brandon will then send you to Captain Rupert.

Captain
Rupert
Located Just NE of Kolramas Captain Rupert will offer you one of three
possible Troll Patrol quests. These quests will only be available after
you have completed Captain Rupert’s quest.

[76]
Troll Patrol: Done to Death

Captain
Rupert requests that you use the Incinerating Oil on 5 Defeated
Argent Footmen in Drak’Sotra to prevent them from rising
again. The Defeated Argent Footmen are located southwest of the quest
giver. Simply target the corpses, and use your oil to light 5 of them
on fire. Once completed turn back in to Captain
Rupert.

[76]
Troll Patrol: Intestinal Fortitude

Captain
Rupert asks you to help restore courage to the cowering Crusade
Recruits by speaking with them. The Recruits are located throughout the
area, even inside of buildings. Click on and speak with 5 of them to
complete this quest then turn back in to Captain Rupert.

[76]
Troll Patrol: Throwing Down

Captain
Rupert asks you to use High Impact Grenades near 5 Nethurbian
Craters. Located roughly west of the
quest giver these Craters can be
somewhat difficult to find. Keep in
mind they are small brown and cone
shaped and when targeted will light up
and have the description
“Nerubian Crater”. Once
you have found one, get
close to it and use your grenade. Do this a total of 5 times and the
quest will be complete. Turn into Captain Rupert.

Captain
Rupert will then send you to Captain Grondel.

Captain
GrondelLocated
outside the Coliseum,
near the amphitheater east of the Argent
Stand Captain Grondel will offer you one of three possible Troll Patrol
quests. This quest will only be available after you have completed
Captain Brandon’s and Captain Rupert’s quests.

[76]
Troll Patrol: Couldn’t Care Less

Captain
Rupert assigns you to kill 7 mossy Rampagers located in
Drak’Agal, located between the Argent Camp and the
Amphitheater. Simply kill 7 Rampagers and this quest will be done.
Please note the Rampagers have a notoriously slow respawn rate so a
little patience may be needed here if anyone else is attempting to do
the quest at the same time.

[76]
Troll Patrol: Creature Comforts

Captain
Grondel asks you to bring him 20 pieces of Dead Thornwood. If
you go into the water the exact way
where Captain Grondel is looking
you will see branches sticking up out of the
water. These are the
Thornwood you need. Simply wander around and pick up 20 pieces and
return the quest to Captain Grondel.

[76]
Troll
Patrol:
Whatdya want, a Medal?

Captain
Grondel requests you to gather 7 Drakkari Medallions from
nearby Drakkari Corpses. Much of the area is standing water so the
Corpses can be difficult to find, but keep a close eye out and you will
finish this quest in no time. Loot 7 Corpses and turn the quest back in
to Captain Grondel. Please note the corpses can be looted while
mounted, and Hunters should use track Undead to find the corpses more
quickly.

Captain
Grondel will then send you to the final quest giver Alchemist
Finklestein.

Alchemist
FinklesteinLocated
slightly SE of
Voltarus inside a building Alchemist Finklestein
will offer you the final Troll Patrol quest. Unlike the other quest
givers he will give the same (and possibly one of the most annoying in
the game) quest every day.

[76] Troll Patrol: The Alchemist’s Apprentice

Alchemist
Finklestein asks you to assist him in the creation of a truth
serum by collecting 6 different ingredients. The ingredients can be
found in 2 rooms located in same building as Alchemist
Finklestein. Ingredients will vary each time the daily is
done and can make the quest more than difficult. Once the quest is
started the Alchemist will whisper ingredients in your ear and you will
be charged with finding them.

Thankfully there
is a pattern to the
madness. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd
ingredients are common (both rooms
will have the ingredient in multiple
spawns), the 4th and 5th are uncommon (found in only one room in
multiple spawns), and the final ingredient is rare (only 1 spawn ).
Rare ingredients can always be found on the second rack from the bottom
except for the Crushed Basilisk
Crystals and Ghoul Drool.

Once
you have collected all 6 ingredients and turned them in, the quest
will be completed. To make things easier there is a highly praised
add-on called EasySerum that will help you complete this quest much
faster and without consulting a list as it will pop up the locations on
your screen as they are given to you.

You should then return to Commander Kunz and turn in the Troll
Patrol/Pa’Troll quest. Upon completion you will gain 350
reputation with the Argent Crusade. You may have noticed when you
accepted the initial quest a 20 minute buff was applied to you. If you
can manage to complete all the sub quests within
20 minutes you will be
able to get the quest Congratulations! which will award you 500 extra
reputation with the Argent Crusade.

Other
Argent Crusade
Reputation

More
reputation can be gained by purchasing the Tabard of the Argent
Crusade from Veteran Crusader Aliocha Segard in the Argent Vanguard.
While wearing this tabard in level 80 dungeons will award 2 to 30
reputation per mob kill depending on difficulty and roughly 300
reputation per boss kill.

You
can also gain reputation by visiting the Argent Tournament in
Icecrown. You should be able to gain roughly 1350 reputation just doing
the quest line to open up the Championship Level, and a possible 1100
reputation with the new dailies. Once you reach a high enough rank
there will be six daily quests available:

[80] A Champion Rises

[80] Taking Battle to the Enemy

[80] Among the Champions

[80] Battle Before the Ciradel

[80] Threat From Above

[79] Contributin’ To The Cause

note that all these quests except for Contributin’ to
the Cause will give Death Knights, Knights of the Ebon Blade reputation
instead of Argent Crusade.

Rewards

for the Argent Crusade can be purchased as you gain faction
from Veteran Crusader Aliocha Segard located in the Argent Vanguard.
